thanks @anaman I read both articles. useful for the setup information but I was really wanting to hear your opinions and insights into your experience. I think that's what most people want (and expect)

  • was it profitable ?
  • how much did you / can you make ?
  • are you still using it ?
  • has it affected your phone / does it get roasting hot / can you still use it for surfing and running other apps without sluggish response ?
    and anything else you feel might be relevant

It's left with a last post of the series but I would give you the gist here.

  • first I think what I was getting were just tokens comparing to electricity, data cost and lifespan deterioration of device, it wasn't profitable

  • I made some few litecoin and not upto minimum withdrawal threshold of 0.001 also hit the mini payout for bcn twice on the minergate.com but was probably because it was coupled with the desktop app mining

  • I stopped after a week, was kind of a way of experimenting

  • during the period of mining with app like crypto miner, phone cannot be used as app cannot be minimized (I was using free version), Miner gate and arm Miner can be minimized but phone becomes very slow. Also phone becomes very hot and I realized the battery of the Samsung tab3 became weak after this adventure

Thanks for checking them out

that was my original suspicion.. a new battery for your tab 3 = more than you can mine in a week ! anything without a battery is probably more useful

Probably but I don't think the cost of electricity would be compensated for

well luckily, there are plenty of other ways to make crypto ! steemit is an excellent option
